Here are the basic rules about clothes:
First and foremost, clothes must fit well! It doesn’t matter how
great a shirt is if it looks ill-fitting. It doesn’t matter how much a
pair of pants has been marked down if it pulls into a pronounced
“starfish” shape where the legs meet the crotch. Simple clothing that
fits well is far better than fancier clothing that just “doesn’t look
right.”
 If you are interested in pursuing a casual ragged, torn-up clothing
look, proper fitting is the difference between looking sexy and looking
like a slob. Next time you see a man or a woman who looks great in the
torn-up style, notice how well the clothes fit them. You’ll notice they
fit perfectly, which is why the style works.
Some clothing stores are better for the average man than for others.
If you are a bit overweight, some of the more hip and upscale stores may
not have clothes that fit you well. Keep shopping around to different
clothing stores. Very often one store will have an entire line of pants
where it does not fit you right.
It’s just the way their clothes are cut. Another store, on the other
hand, might have a wide variety of pants that fit you. It’s a good idea
to keep shopping around until you find a proper store where the clothes
fit you well and to look good where the salespeople could help you
expand your style.
How do you know when clothes don’t fit well? Often, the salespeople
will tell you, though you can’t count on that. If you are shopping with
a friend, he or she can help you. The bottom line is, if the clothes
don’t fit you well don’t waste your money move on to the next shop.
The second rule of clothing is that clothes must be clean! Because
most men are “clothes blind,” and can’t seem to tell when clothes need
laundering, let’s briefly go over how you know when it’s time to wash
something. If your shirts and pants are dirty, look at them under bright
light. Are there any spots or stains?
If there are, rub the spot with a stain remover (you can buy it from
where you buy detergent), and wash. Pants also need laundering when they
start to get baggy and wrinkled. Blue jeans are especially susceptible
to stretching and getting baggy. When this happens, it’s time to wash
them. |
